5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Solver 9 May 2011
By Alan
Format:Kindle Edition
This guide is a must have for anyone who needs help soliving ant type of cryptic crossword. It is uniquely formatted and helped me to understand how a crossword compiler creates a crossword in he first place. The Author is a published crossword compiler and well respected in his field. I refer to this guide each time I get stuck on a clue to try and dissect the problem.

Without this guide, I was completely lost when solving the complex clues. If you have ever been stuck solving a crossword, this guide makes it clear. With references to help you go through the specific problem.

I was apprehensive about purchasing the guide as it is only 14 pages, but I am glad I did. I was so impressed I visited www.enigmacrosswords.com and bought the hard copy for a relative.

With an app coming shortly, get this guide and star understanding how a crossword compiler thinks!

This was a cheap Kindle book and it really helped me start understanding the basic fundamentals about cryptic crosswords.

I keep it on my Kindle and refer to it when doing my crosswords (I am a beginner on Cryptics!)

Ok as a basic guide, but the clues it gives as examples are laughably simple, rarely are the answers more than four words long. Look elsewhere if you want anything more than the very basics.
